[Intro] 
E Ab C#m B A E
[Verse]
EMy brother and I built dens at night
EOut in the pines as it grew thicker over time
We took our Abturns
And we C#mlearnt to lBove our lAittle Eminds
EWe walked into the wilderness
EBearing the courage of the AbWilderman
They C#mhide in the night in the Btrees
With Asilhouette Efigures
AbShapes and C#mshadows they Bstart Ato Esurround
AbWe shine our C#mtorches and made Bmonsters Awith our Ehands
AbWe weren't C#mafraid because we Btaught them Ahow to Edance
C#mYou're so Bblind to our Away of Elife
[Chorus]
AbOh C#mcarry all your Bheavy Eloads
AbOh is C#mlife a burden Bon your Ebackbones
If C#mso take Bcontrol and build a Ahill beneath your Ehome
Where the C#mgravity is Bweaker and the Astars give you Ehope
If the C#mlines upon your Bhands Apredict this Esoul
C#mWhy are we Bwaiting? C#mWhy are we Bwasting Etime?
[Verse]
EMy brother and I, we used our minds
EWe set up traps to catch the beasts before they bite
They come from Abunder
And C#mthey try to Btake you Afrom your lEife
EWe follow footprints, down to the lake
EWe lost the scent, two shadows cast from outer space
We passed our Abcurfew
C#mBut we knew the BWildermAan would Ewait
AbStrength in C#mnumbers we Bformed Aour Eparade
AbOver a C#mhilltop and we Bfound him Ain a Ecave
AbWe didn't C#mfight because we Btaught them Ato Ebehave
C#mYou're so Bblind when you Aclose your Eeyes
[Chorus]
AbOh C#mfollow us Binto the Eunknown
AbOh are you C#mwild or do you Bwalk Ealone
If C#mso take Bcontrol and build a Ahill beneath your Ehome
Where the C#mgravity is Bweaker and the Astars give you Ehope
If the C#mlines upon your Bhands Apredict this Esoul
C#mWhy are we Bwaiting? AWhy are we Bwasting Etime?
[Verse]
C#mFurther and Bfurther Awatch them Erun
We C#mproved you Bwrong we Aproved you Ewrong
You C#mlived each Bday in your Acowardly Eways
You C#mlived each Bday to Adeliver me Epain
[Chorus]
AbOh cC#marry all your Bheavy Eloads
AbOh is C#mlife a burden Bon your Ebackbones
If C#mso take Bcontrol and build a Ahill beneath your Ehome
Where the C#mgravity is Bweaker and the Astars give you Ehope
If the C#mlines upon your Bhands Apredict this Esoul
C#mWhy are we Bwaiting? AWhy are we Bwasting Etime?

C#m

[Intro]

E Ab C#m B A E

[Verse]

My brother and I built dens at night

Out in the pines as it grew thicker over time

We took our turns

C#m B A E

And we learnt to love our little minds

We walked into the wilderness

E Ab

Bearing the courage of the Wilderman

C#m B

They hide in the night in the trees

A E

With silhouette figures

Ab C#m B A E

Shapes and shadows they start to surround

Ab C#m B A E

We shine our torches and made monsters with our hands

Ab C#m B A E

We weren't afraid because we taught them how to dance

C#m B A E

You're so blind to our way of life

[Chorus]

Ab C#m B E

Oh carry all your heavy loads

Ab C#m B E

Oh is life a burden on your backbones

C#m B A E

If so take control and build a hill beneath your home

C#m B A E

Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope

C#m B A E

If the lines upon your hands predict this soul

C#m B C#m B E

Why are we waiting? Why are we wasting time?

[Verse]

My brother and I, we used our minds

We set up traps to catch the beasts before they bite

They come from under

C#m B A E

And they try to take you from your life

We follow footprints, down to the lake

We lost the scent, two shadows cast from outer space

We passed our curfew

C#m B A E

But we knew the Wilderman would wait

Ab C#m B A E

Strength in numbers we formed our parade

Ab C#m B A E

Over a hilltop and we found him in a cave

Ab C#m B A E

We didn't fight because we taught them to behave

C#m B A E

You're so blind when you close your eyes

[Chorus]

Ab C#m B E

Oh follow us into the unknown

Ab C#m B E

Oh are you wild or do you walk alone

C#m B A E

If so take control and build a hill beneath your home

C#m B A E

Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope

C#m B A E

If the lines upon your hands predict this soul

C#m B A B E

Why are we waiting? Why are we wasting time?

[Verse]

C#m B A E

Further and further watch them run

C#m B A E

We proved you wrong we proved you wrong

C#m B A E

You lived each day in your cowardly ways

C#m B A E

You lived each day to deliver me pain

[Chorus]

Ab C#m B E

Oh carry all your heavy loads

Ab C#m B E

Oh is life a burden on your backbones

C#m B A E

If so take control and build a hill beneath your home

C#m B A E

Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope

C#m B A E

If the lines upon your hands predict this soul

C#m B A B E

Why are we waiting? Why are we wasting time?
